Funny that the two people bashing Behringer stuff also claim they do not use them much. One even states he never owned anything Behringer
I have a Behringer mixer. It's been used routinely since 2004. Not a problem.
I owned a BX3000T head and 2x10" cab for a while. Fan was noisy, so no use for quiet practice (who gets a 300W for practice anyway?) but it sounded pretty good, and never had a problem with it. Like a few other people I know.
I still own a Behringer BXL450A practice combo. Regular use. Still sounds good.
Pedals? I tried a few, sold all except for an EQ because it's useful. None broke, I just didn't like teh sound enough to keep them. But at such low price it'd be ridiculous to expect them to be working 20=30 years later, like Boss pedals do.
It gets a bit tiring to hear the regular bashing of behringer stuff, mostly through hear-say, not based on actual personal experience.
Of course you can't expect same quality as gear costing 5x more... but they provide a good opportunity for people to use equipment and make music who otherwise would have to sit twiddling their thumbs until they could raise more cash. And a LOT of Behringer products last long enough. Personally, I neevr had a reliability issue? I'm not alone. But then, I do treat all my equipment sensibly, whether cheap or expensive.
I bought used my BX3000T head and the matching 2x10" for £100. It sounded great and it allowed me to play when I could not afford to buy anything. How is that a bad thing?
It never broke down, and a friend of mine gigs his regularly... 5 years on still going strong.
Did anybody have an actual experience of something just breaking through normal sensible use? I bet the real numbers are 10x lower than comments here would suggest.
It annoys me because tjis kind of misinformation is bound to put a lot of extra stress on especially beginners who don't have the $$$ to splash on great equipment, and it is a real shame.
